Cannot wait to get him on campus. Shelton, CMM, Greg, Cav and Devin sounds like a pretty stout line up. The team, coaches and fan base needed this news and I am all in to see what coach can do the next couple of seasons. bzz isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
From a UNC blogger:
Shelton Mitchell, 2014 4-star PG of Cuthbertson HS (Waxhaw, NC), committed to WF after his game tonight. Said he was thinking he wanted to commit for over a month now, but he wanted to make sure. Said now was the right time. Sounded like he committed because Wake was with him from the beginning.
"They were recruiting me since I was a high school freshman. They were with me no matter what."
I asked him about his visit to UNC for the UNLV game.
"I knew UNC was recruiting me, but it was nothing serious. After the game, I talked to a couple of the coaches. I never sat down with Roy Williams or anything like that."
Mitchell has offers from Clemson, South Carolina, Missouri and Virginia Tech, among others.
I saw him play this month in the HSOT Invitational. Scored 30 points in a loss vs. Hampton (Va), but beat NCSU PG commit Cat Barber in just about every facet. Deceivingly quick and a lefty. Great get for Wake, IMO.
From Telep:
Mitchell said he keeps in contact with junior wing Kelly Oubre (Houston/Bush) and Gary Clark (Clayton, N.C./Clayton), a junior forward outside of Raleigh. No. 11 junior Leron Black (Memphis, Tenn./White Station), who just decommitted from Baylor this week, is another guy Mitchell intends to work over and said he keeps in regular contact with each.
"I'm working on whoever I can," Mitchell said. "I want to help bring in more guys."
